Do you find people try to start shit more or less since getting jacked?

Well, I hardly get into "staredowns" or "fights". Life has more important stuff when you get older. Of cos, dun be cocky and walk around thinking that everyone is afraid of you.

Never had a problem, because I look more sporty than big.
Though sometimes I like to play the stare game... like the wild poodle I am.

Getting jacked? What does that have to do with anything. The only guys not willing to fight "jacked up" people are people who do not know how to fight. Size means very little...as discussed millions of times here on GB.

Size means very little is a huge understatement.

Edit: I don't know if I got that right or if anyone will understand. I will put it this way. 10 pound bodyweight difference can be a deciding factor between two fighters in a ring. So yeah, I think it might matter alot.

Yeah, when there is rules. Thats why there is weight classes.
But size really doesnt mean anything if one of the two knows how to fight and the other doesnt (read: training)

Well yeah, but we must also remember that there is so much variation in skills. It isn't just two options, trained and untrained.

I read that a famous Finnish strongman who worked as a bouncer used to get into fights. And not only as a bouncer, but in freetime also. One guy beat him. He was a very succesfull heavyweight martial artist.

Correct. But for every 1 of him, there is 10,000 wannabe tough guys that dont know shit who run there mouth because theyre insecure and they think what theyre doing makes them tough. More than likely, those are the guys that youre going to run into.

Juice heads can get as jacked as they want. It's not going to protect their chin any better when you land a shot square on the button. I've seen more bloated, juicebags get dropped than any other. Pretty comical.

A guy  joined my gym maybe 3yrs ago
For the first 6months his father used to come to training with him
Then he started on a bit of gear
Within a month he'd shaved his head, grown a goatee, got a tattoo on his neck, wore vests to the gym and started bouncing
Same doesn't apply to everyone but some people will be cockheads no matter what

speaking of duchaine, are there any archives of his articles or audio interviews.

Here's a collection of a few old "Ask the Guru" questions:

Also his "Dirty Dieting Newsletter" is avalable on the 'net as a download, I believe 240orbust might still have it. You might even find his "Danachy" articles floating around too, altough I think Qfac clampped down on them.

Your best bet is to look at the torrent sites, and see if anyone has uploaded the series of CD-Roms, etc... that Muscle Media (formerly Muscle Media 2000) put out a few years back. My understanding is that they have most of the articles from that magazine's history, including the work Duchaine did for them.
